If he keeps on licking his eye, there could be something irritating him. Have you check if there is anything like shed or small debris in his eye?

My leos will lick their eyes also, but not too often.

Yep, it's what their name means. :laugh:
I've only seen mine lick around his eyes when he's trying to swallow something big or squirmy.
